A "little" old? The repetitive, boring, goldbug allegations of 'manipulation' have been posted here for years. What happens when the gold price goes up, is it being 'manipulated' upwards? Of course not, it's just gold having a run up despite the overwhelming opposition to it - right?
There's been manipulation in all kinds of markets, in fact recently there's been manipulation in the gas market in Kansas because of the cold weather. Isn't it shocking?
